Navigation showing completed form field values in URI

Hi,
Using ADF, I have a form for entering values that I want the user to complete and then click a Search button that navigates to another page passing the values the user entered as traditional GET type parameters in the URI.
I do not seem to be having any luck in doing this.
I thought I was there by setting up a navigation case where the destination was /page.jsp?param1=#{backing_search.selectInputText1.value} but this is not evaluated and is passed literally to page.jsp.
I have also tried this with static navigation via a go button, but the button's destination value is set before the user enters the value into the field and so the value they enter is lost.
I know that parameter passing us usually done in the backing bean, but I need to see the values in the URI.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Andy

Thanks for replying Frank, but this doesn't seem to work.
I have created a test JSF JSP page with a single selectInputText field and a single command button.
The form has a backing bean with a method that the command button uses (in its Action property) which simply returns the string "success". My navigation case for "success" has Redirect set to true. When I run the form and click the button, the navigation is successful but the entered parameter and value pair is not shown on the URI (but the URI does display the name of the new page, which it doesn't when Redirect is false).
Do I have to set some form or field property in order to achieve what I want to do?

How can I show Search Form parameter values in URI of Results page?

I have searched through these pages for posts relating to caching but haven't seen any that relate to my issue.
We run a website that accesses data through search forms and returns matching data to the requester in a results page. The search criteria are entered in a form and the results page is generated by a servlet that gets the search parameter values that the user entered using the GET method.
I would like rewrite this Search page using JDeveloper to bring our old code up to date and take advantage of new features that should help performance. In particular, I want to utilise the WebCache.
To use the WebCache effectively, the cache needs to know what the search criteria were when it delivers a page so that repeated requests using the same criteria can be served directly from the cache.
The data retrieved by a query may change from one search to to the next so I can't use time-based caching. But, I can use the WebCache Invalidation interface from the back-end DB server to flush old data out of the WebCache when it is changed, but to flush out the correct pages I need to know the parameter values passed.
If I just follow the demos, it seems like the search parameters are all hidden in beans or something which means that the Web Cache can't be used for what I want. The parameter values are important.
So my question is: is there a way of showing the search parameters used in the URI to the Results page? Can the old GET method of parameter passing be used (or can I somehow just put the old style parameters onto the URI?)
Alternatively, is there a simple How To or Demo on how to use the Web Caching facility with JSF?
(ADF Caching and Java Object caching do not seem appropriate for my needs. ADF caching seems to be limited to having fragments cached for fixed periods of time and Java Object caching is orders of magnitude slower and involves the Application Server.)
Thanks for any advice,
Andy

Sorry - should have said I'm using JDev 10.1.3.0.4 with JSF & ADF BC.

Actionscript & changing form field values

I am building a form using flash forms. I have a particular
field that by default the value is 0.00. I want to make an onchange
actionscript that will dynamically change the form field value to
0.00 if the end user deletes the value out of the field and leaves
it blank.
Please be gentle...I know my actionscript'ing is poor (and
probably looks a wee bit more like JS than AS) LOL
<cfsavecontent variable="zero_myfield>
if (myfield.text == '') {
myform.myfield.text == "0.00";
</cfsavecontent>
<cfinput type="text" name="myfield"
onchange="zero_myfield">
I know you can manipulate the value of a form field easily
with javascript, but how to do the same thing with actionscript?
Any pointers would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

ROFL, I figured as much...like I said, my AS is *very*
rudimentary right now heheh
I picked up an AS book yesterday evening to hopefully help me
out some, I know not all AS is available to use in ColdFusion flash
forms, but it will give me a good reference I hope.
I'll try my hand at the listener and see what I can come up
with. Thanks for the pointer!! :)

Modify form field value

I have the PDF form with several fields. I want to set the value of one field depending on selection made by the user in other field. I am trying to use if statement but it does not work for me. I have copied below the script I am trying to use.
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.Table.Table3[0].Row1.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (oField.rawValue == "Service Alert")
this.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "A";
else if (oField.rawValue == "Service Bulletin")
this.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "B";
When user selects Service Alert in Cell1 I want the value of Cell4 to be set to A and if Service Bulletin is selected I want the value of Cell4 to be set to B.
Can someone help me with the script. I have done a bit of searching and tested verious syntax but nothing did work. I hope someone will help me to have it working.
Regards,
Tony

Thank you very much for your help, but it did not work for me. I have decided to reply and to send you the form. Could you please have a look on what I have done and try to fix it. I want to add action to Cell1 to modify Cell4 in row 1 of the form, top on the blue background.

Forms personalyzation, passing Form field values to SRS concurrent request.

Hi,
Iam calling an SRS from forms personlization. Can any body tell me how to pass the Form field values as parameters to the Reports. (Example when they call this Concurrent request from Transactions screen, The invoice number should be defaulted in the report parameter).
Regards,,
Anil.

Hi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST to submit a concurrent progrm with parameters given.
For example, get the invoice number into v_invoice_no and call a function included code bellow.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(
<app_short_name>,
<concurrent_short_name>,
to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'),
FALSE,
v_invoice_no,chr(0),'','','','','','','','',
'','','','','','','','','','');-- 100 ARGUMENTS FROM THE BEGINNING
Where chr(0) must be the last argument.

Referencing form field values in javascript

I am attempting to call a report from a button on a form in Portal. I have been successful in calling a report from a OnClick JavaScript event handler, but I also need to send a parameter to the report based on the value in a field on the form.
I have been unable to find any information on how to do this. Does someone know how to do this? Thanks.

Perhaps this technote below may be of help:
Addressing field values in forms
For forms all of the form field values are kept in the "session storage", which is an internal
data structure object
and has some methods to access the data
to access them you must have following information:
1. Block name
- DEFAULT for forms on tables
- MASTER_BLOCK for the master section of MD form
- DETAIL_BLOCK for the detail section of MD form
2. Attribute name (is the column name plus 'A_' prefix)
3. Column datatype (NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE)
Example:
declare
my_empno number;
begin
my_empno := p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_EMPNO');
end;
In case of MD form, there are 2 blocks - MASTER_BLOCK for master section of the form
and DETAIL_BLOCK for the detail section. Since there is more that 1 record in detail section
you must specify a row index for the detail row
Example:
declare
my_empno number;
begin
my_empno := p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(
p_block_name => 'DETAIL_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => 'A_EMPNO'
p_index => 5);
end;
Writing custom buttons code
Every event handler has p_session argument, for any event handler it is a reference to the
session storage object, by calling
appropriate methods you can get and set values of the fields in the form.
Attribute names are create by adding 'A_' to your table's column names, so DEPTNO becomes
A_DEPTNO
Note, if you add a button to detail section of the form for each detail row then you'll have to
examine p_instance value which will be set to a number indicating for which row button has been
pressed. (1 for the first detail record, 2, 3, etc.)
Example:
bold - generated part
italic - custom code
procedure WWV_DETAIL_GENSYS_99
p_block_name in varchar2,
p_object_name in varchar2,
p_instance in integer,
p_event_type in varchar2,
p_user_args in varchar2,
p_session in out DNONKIN.wwa_api_module_session
is
begin
declare
my_action varchar2(4000);
var1 integer;
var2 varchar2(4000);
begin
my_action := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => p_block_name,
p_attribute_name => '_DETAIL_ACTION',
p_index => p_instance
if my_action = 'DELETE' then
var1:=p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(
p_block_name => p_block_name,
p_attribute_name => 'A_EMPNO',
p_index => p_instance
var2:=p_session.get_value_as_VARCHAR2(
p_block_name => p_block_name,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ENAME',
p_index => p_instance
--- Add a record to my log table
insert into my_log values (var1,var2);
end if;
exception when others then

raise;
end;

Form field values in query

Hi,
How to access a Form Field value [Inventory Transfer] in a query:
Tried all these combination:
$[http://940.18.1], $[http://$940.18.1], $[OWTR.Filler]
What is the right format to access the field value & Is there a way to check [debug] what the values are ?
Am using: SAP B1 2005B SP:00 PL:34
Regards.

First, Enable System information from the View Menu. This will enable you to see the table name and the field name when you click on the field.
Once you get this info, you can access it by $[[TableName.FieldName]]
Remote the http:// that you see above
$ [ ] are all required.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

Get form field value using an offset

I have a Form created using Perl that has a table with a row for each invoice in a large table. I display all the rows in a table and allow the user to edit some info for each record:
for ($item_cntr = 0; $cntr < $record_cnt; ++$item_cntr)
{ print qq(<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="c_freight_$item_cntr" value="$i_freight[$item_cntr]" onBlur="linetotal($item_cntr)" ></td>
<td><input type="text" name="c_miscamt_$item_cntr" value="$i_miscamt[$item_cntr]" ></td>
<td><input type="text" name="c_price_$item_cntr" value="$i_price[$item_cntr]" ></td>
</tr>);
I want to create a Function that is called when they change the Freight value and that causes the rows total Price (freight + miscamt = price) to be calculated again (without hitting a Submit button on the Form).
I created a Function:
function linetotal(whatline) {
var fixed_freight = "document.editform.c_freight_" + whatline;
var fixed_misc = "document.editform.c_miscamt_" + whatline;
var linetotal = parseFloat(fixed_freight.value) + parseFloat(fixed_misc.value);
document.editform.c_price_whatline.value = linetotal; } }
So, if the first row in the table is 0, then the Function is passed "0" and should get the value of the form fields:
'c_freight_0' and 'c_miscamt_0' and set 'c_price_0' to a new value in the form.
The fixed_freight is showing that the string it has is correct, but it does not get the value from the form. Any ideas?

Submit disabled form field value?

Is it possible to disable a form field, but still have it be included in the request object on the form handler page?
For instance, I have a field that is required and the customer wants it disabled so it can't be changed until another checkbox is selected. When the form is submitted, the disabled field value isn't passed. Is there anyway around that, short of changing the customer requirement?
Thanks,
-Shadow

You might try using the property "readOnly"
It applies to textfields/textareas
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/readonly_1.asp?frame=true
This doesn't disable the component - it can still be selected.
It just cannot be edited.
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/interact/forms.html#adef-readonly
The readonly attribute specifies whether the control may be modified by the user.
When set, the readonly attribute has the following effects on an element:
Read-only elements receive focus but cannot be modified by the user.
Read-only elements are included in tabbing navigation.
Read-only elements may be successful.
The following elements support the readonly attribute: INPUT and TEXTAREA. Cheers,

How to Supply the form field values to a pdf form when loading it

I am working on a web site project using Asp.net where the user has to fill in a PDF eform in acrobat reader. Then when he clicks on submit it returns to my asp.net app and the PDF form supplies the values back to my asp.net app. So my asp.net app has the values that were filled in the PDF form and can save those values and work with them...
OK.
What I need to know is when I am in my asp.net app, and the user wants to go back and reopen the same form, from my asp.net app..... then how do I pass back the values that were saved back to the PDF form??
I know if I had a way to pass the values to the PDF form in some way then in the Doc.open or doc.load event of the form I could easily write a little javascript to plug in the values in the PDF form fields.
but how do I pass those values from my asp.net app to my PDF form???
thanks

Change hidden form field value

hi everyone...i'm hoping someone can help me figure out how
to change the value of a hidden field in a form. i have a page
setup where users pay a website fee. since the fee is always the
same, i have the amount setup in a hidden field in my form. my
question is, i'd like to use promo codes. so i'll add a box in my
form that says "enter promo code." then there's a link in the form
that says "apply promo code." i'm thinking that link needs to
refresh my page and take the value entered by the user in the promo
code form field and place it in the url. that way i can write a
cfif statement to change the value of the hidden field. the problem
is, i can't figure out how to "refresh" the page and take the value
out of the form field and place it in the url. hope this makes
sense. maybe someone can offer a better way to do this? i'd truly
appreciate any help anyone can offer. thanks!

You would change the amount on the processing page with
ColdFusion (after the form is submitted), but prior to the CFHTTP
call. You really should familiarize yourself with CFHTTP (check
online documentation). It sounds like it is exactly what you need.
The format of your application would be something like:
promocode.cfm:
====================
<form name="someform" method="post"
action="process.cfm">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="address">
<input type="text" name="promocode">
<input type="hidden" name="order_price"
value="#OrderValue#>
</form>
process.cfm
======================

<cfif form.promocode eq "Promo1">
<cfset form.order_price = .75 * form.order_price>
</cfif>
<cfset sales_tax = .1 * form.order_price>

<cfhttp url="https://www.myProcessor.com/gateway/"
method="POST">
<cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="price"
value="#form.order_price#">
<cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="tax"
value="#sales_tax #">
<cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="cc_number"
value="#cc_num #">
</cfhttp>

<cfif FindNoCase("Success Text", CFHTTP.fileContent)>
Good Response
<cfelse>
Bad Response
</cfif>

How to revise form field value in query and skip validation

Hi all,
I have a 10g form that has a field which I want to manipulate during query. I want to display a different value depending upon its orignal value. I did this with a Post-Query trigger on the field's datablock. However, now, when I attempt a new query, the form thinks I've changed the field (which I did). I want to change the field but trick Forms into thinking there were no updates. How do I do this? Note: the field is a list item that has a style of combo box.
Thanks, Mike

Ammad,
The reason is that sometimes the list returns the record group's key value (the second column) instead of the intended value (in the first column). This is because the record group is based on a SQL query. There are some values which are no longer in the table queried by the record group, thus the key value is displayed. I would rather nothing be displayed. As of now, I display a message indicating that there is a problem with the LOV.
I know about using a non-database form field. But I don't have any room left and I don't want to lay the non-database field on top of the database field and then have to enable/disable the two fields.
A friend at work suggested setting update_permission to trick Forms. Tried it but not successful yet.
Thanks, Mike

Assign form field value

Gurus:
Given a value in form field one, I want to assign a value to form field two (same form). How can I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
kc

Ken,
You can set the the value on the server side from any event hadlers by calling p_session.set_value() function. For an example please see Portal FAQ: http://otn.oracle.com/products/iportal/htdocs/portal_faq.htm
Thanks,
Dmitry
